How does one set the scene font for a text object in a script?
Does xptextobject have a font property that can be set to a scene font?

If its in an OnSetText script, easiest way is to just do something like this using the Font Tags feature.
(Where you have a font named RedFont in your project)


text = "{RedFont}" + text



If its in an OnOnline script or elsewhere it would be done a bit differently using the "TextWithTags" property.

The text object does have a .CurrentFont property (consult the SDK helpfile for all the properties of a textobject). The CurrentFont property only affects text added to the text object after you set the CurrentFont (since remember a textobject can have many different characters all with different fonts held within it).

If I use CurrentFont what do I set it to if I want to use a scene font?

I need a script example of how to change a textobjects currentfont to a scene font. There is nothing in the SDK helpfile that I can find that is helpful.
